Join Us at TrevorLIVE NY June 13

On June 13, 2016, Broadway stars will join New York’s LGBTQ community and allies at The Marriott Marquis as we celebrate TrevorLIVE New York, our irreverent evening of comedy and music, recognizing long-time supporters Jordan Roth and Richie Jackson as Trevor Hero Honorees. First-time Guest Director and Tony-nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet, Well) will be working with Guest Writer Tim Federle (Tuck Everlasting, Better Nate Than Ever) and special guests including NBC’s newest headliner of Hairspray Live! and Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots), Tony Award winner Judith Light (Transparent), Grammy winner Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon, Girls), and more to be announced.

“We are honored to recognize Jordan Roth and Richie Jackson as Trevor Heroes, leaders in our community who have been dedicated to our mission to end suicide for all LGBTQ youth. We are also delighted that Leigh Silverman and Tim Federle will bring their passion and creativity to the TrevorLIVE stage,” says Abbe Land, Executive Director and CEO of The Trevor Project.

President of Jujamcyn Theaters and Tony award-winning producer Jordan Roth is a theatre innovator, championing LGBTQ storylines that push the boundaries of Broadway with current shows including the Tony Award-winning Best Musicals The Book of Mormon, Kinky Boots, and Jersey Boys. His commitment to the arts and culture community is seen in his dedication to building Culturalist.com and the theater/philanthropy site Givenik.com as well as hosting the creative collective #MakingMondays on Periscope and Facebook Live. Roth’s inclusion in Out Magazine’s “Out 100” and his involvement in The Trevor Project, as well as his service on the Boards of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Freedom to Marry have paved the way for change in the LGBTQ community.

Honored alongside Roth will be husband and President of Jackson Group Entertainment, Richie Jackson, whose passion for young people’s futures can be seen in his recent endowment of The Richie Jackson Fellowship to his alma mater, NYU Tisch School of The Arts, which will assist graduates in transition from academia to arts careers. For seven seasons, Jackson executive produced Showtime’s Nurse Jackie (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee) as well as John Cameron Mitchell’s film Shortbus. Both Roth and Jackson have been role models to the many young people The Trevor Project serves.

“While we are so grateful to accept the Trevor Project’s Hero Award, we know that the true heroes are Trevor’s counselors, volunteers, and staff who are literally saving the lives of tens of thousands of LGBTQ young people in crisis every year. We are honored to be celebrating them and the world they are creating, one call at a time,” say Roth and Jackson.
